I have been in touch with Damir Stojnić for the last few months, but over electronic mail only. He teaches at the Fine Arts Department at the University of Rijeka. When he came to see me in Motovun together with his wife, Tanja, he said two surprising things about my paintings. First, he found them soothing in spite of their stark geometry. Second, they looked to him green even though they are black, white, and red. “When I look at all of them together,” he said as he looked around my livingroom and gallery, “they definitely strike me as green.” He paused as he looked around the room one more time. “Yup,” he nodded, “soothing and green.” And I envied him a bit concerning the color.
